Excerpt

Based upon shift protocols, Dave Robinson should have been at his terminal, monitoring his assigned data feeds. But he wasn’t at his desk, because he hated his current job description and its required behaviors. As is typical of many governmental jobs, work-related regulations were written by white-collar types who would never be assigned to carry out these procedures. This is much like factory-provided assembly manuals that make no sense, because the authors never actually tried to use the designated product, following these instructions. For example, in Robinson’s case, if you were working a 12- month graveyard rotation in the ’Gulag’ for perceived past improprieties, you had a lot of time on your hands. No distractions were allowed. No books, no internet access, no music— nothing. Clearly this was ridiculous, if you had any brain at all. It was systemic insanity.
